| Topic | The hospital gave my Grandmother a blood transfusion without permission. |
| SomaMaxwell 09/09/20 7:16:04 PM #32: | I don't usually post like this but i had to say something. My stepfamily( my dad and stepmom) are Jehovah's witnesses. They don't believe in blood transfusions. My stepmothers mother had to have a blood transfusion. Her hemoglobin was low and she was in generally bad health after finishing some cancer treatments. She wouldn't get the blood transfusion. She said jehovah would save her or she would die and wait for tribulation. And she died. I was very sad about it. She had always been kind to me even though i wasn't her biological grandchild. I was 14 or 15 at the time and all i could think was all she needed was a transfusion. And she would still be alive. It really hurt me because i watched her die right in front of me and i kept telling her to go to the dr and she said she didn't need to. I think it should be up to the person I really do. I mean we all get to make choices about our life. I just don't think i could live with myself if i knew that getting a blood transfusion would keep me here with my family longer, with my child longer, that i wouldn't do it. --- Its hard being a mom! ...
